Because who would want to win a BBC Sports Personality of the Year award when you could win a Ddraig award?

It would be easy to give our Player of the Year award to Gareth Bale, who at times has appeared to carry this Welsh side to victory. He’s been unstoppable, out of this world and a leader, but he’s also on the best players in the World; it’s what he should be doing.

We’re giving our Player of the Year award to Joe Allen; a man who has lifted himself from comedy figure to one the Premier League’s leading midfielders. He’s become one of Wales’ most important players; alongside Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. He’s become a leader and has grabbed some really important goals in 2016. We love you Joe Allen, keep doing what you’re doing.

Goal of the Year

There’s only one winner here. We wanted to resist giving it to Hal Robson-Kanu’s magical goal against Belgium in the Quarter Finals of Euro 2016, but how can we ignore a Puskas nomination?

It was arguably the greatest goal in Welsh football history and a moment every single Welshman will never forget. I can still picture that exact moment; stood in a bar in Ottawa, Canada with some Belgium fans sat near us.

Moment of the Year

There’s too many to choose from, isn’t there? Gareth Bale’s goal against England, the euphoria of winning our first major tournament game since 1958 and the aforementioned Robson-Kanu goal. We’re giving our Moment of the Year award to the welcome home party for our heroes.
